CALDER EDMONTON REAL ESTATE
Calder is a residential neighbourhood in northwest Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The area was originally part of the Hudson’s Bay Company reserve and was settled by employees of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway.
As described below, Calder was originally an independent village incorporated under the name of West Edmonton that was developed to house the workforce at the railway’s roundhouse, repair shop and shunt yards. Calder became a part of the City of Edmonton in 1917.
The neighbourhood is bounded by 127 Street to the west, 132 Avenue to the north, 113A Street to the east, and 127 Avenue to the south. It also includes a small area south of 127 Avenue and north of the Canadian National rail line between 124 Street and 127 Street.
According to the 2001 federal census, approximately one residence in eight (11.5%) predates the end of World War II, with some of these residences dating from as early as 1910. However, most of the residences in the modern neighbourhood of Calder date from after 1945. Just under half (44.5%) of all residences were built between 1946 and 1960. One in five residences (17.1%) were built during the 1960s and another one in five residences (19.0%) were built during the 1970s. The remaining 7.8% were built after 1980.
The most common type of residence in the neighbourhood, according to the 2005 municipal census, is the single-family dwelling. These account for approximately two out of every three (65%) of all the residences in the neighbourhood. Another one in five residences (19%) are duplexes. One in seven residences (14%) are rented apartments in low-rise buildings with fewer than five stories. There are a few other types of residences in the neighbourhood accounting for approximately 1% of all residences. Just over half the residences (55%) are owner-occupied and just under half the residences (45%) are rented.
There are two schools in the neighbourhood. Calder Elementary School is operated by the Edmonton Public School System and the St. Edmund Catholic Elementary Junior High School is operated by the Edmonton Catholic School System.
